Setting angle with Adj. torque arm

Hey gang,

I just finished revamping my entire suspension on my 88' Iroc. Now I'm in the process of installing my adj. torque arm. Right now with my Eibach lowering springs, and my LCARB and the LCA's set at the 2" drop mark I'm getting a reading of 4.8 degrees at the driveshaft and 3.5 degrees at the bottom of the original torque arm, at the pinion area. Both of these angles are pointed toward the front of the car, so is that a positive or negative angle? Do I add these two together or subtract them? I was told from UMI that I want a -2 degrees for my new setting after the lowering. Right now the car is on jackstand with the front one under the frame rails, and the rear under the rear end, so the rear suspension is loaded.

Any hint, help or suggestions would be appreictaed. I already contacted UMI, but I also wanted to hear the forum guys chim in as well. Thanks!
